Queen's Park, Crewe
The main public park for the town of Crewe was laid out from 1887 on land given by the London and North Western Railway Company, to mark both the 50th anniversary of its predecessor the Grand Junction Railway, and the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria. It opened in June 1888 and covers about 17 hectares. The park is elliptical in shape, surrounded by a carriage drive, and laid out quite formally. It was extensively restored c.2010. Facilities include a boating lake (formed from the Valley Brook, a minor tributary of the River Weaver), minigolf, cafe, children's playground and bandstand. At the centre of the park is a memorial to the fallen of the South African War of 1899-1902.
The official name is Queen's Park (the queen in question being Victoria) but locals also just call it Crewe Park.
